Mate, keep your hands on the steering wheel.

You will not get much of a shock from my install as its only 68~70V VOC, even with wet hands its much safer..The current is higher so more cable runs are needed, but fire and tracking and arcing is dramatically reduced. Its the same with the battery, it can also catch fire, keep in a fire proof box outside. Do not use Lithium batteries of any kind, they are too expensive and dangerous. Use AGM, 32kwh bank costs about $5.5k u will get 2000 - 3000 cycles with 25% discharges SOC, almost as good lithium, but way cheaper.

My solutions are 1 install the isolator or dc breaker in a metal combiner box outside the house on a brick wall, so the fire has nothing too burn other than the switch. 2. Keep the total VOC below 120VDC, no more hazardous DC voltages 200~600Vdc on residential installs. 2 Instead wire 2 or 3 panels in series and then group them in parallel, and have a dc cable run for each group to a metal combiner box outside the house. 3. No rooftop isolator needed. 4. Install a 48V off grid system. 5. do not grid tie anymore, as feed in tariffs are no longer viable.

Nice quick update Jason....you'll have to have a word with the spiders, let them know not to make families in the cabinet !! 😆

Yikes. That’s a bit dangerous. Do you folks now run some sort of rapid shutdown system on individual modules?

Hey mate. You ever end up figuring out what happened to this system? I’ve got a Fronius that’s throwing the same 475 on one of the two strings going into it. Seems to happen late in the evenings or early in the mornings. More likely to happen during wetter times. Went up and visually inspected everything can’t see anything wrong.

The panels don't run at their maximum current, thats directly proportional to the irradiance. They tend to run at maximum voltage. If you add optimisers or micro inverters then the opposite becomes true.

hi. and if the house is only single phase?

Cheap panels. Use jinko longi or canadiansolar panels

Interesting, however more expensive is Not always better! We've had a CMS and a Zeversolar for 13 years total and NO failures! And even if one did fail we'd buy them again and still save money over more expensive brands!! 🙂

Awesome work mate- I’ll have to get in touch with you. I’m in Mount Hardey and am chasing a decent off grid sparky. Your work looks spot on!

I would have thought the inverter would have had to be installed outside to help cool it with natural convention. How would it go in that shed in summer with everything shut up. Would that cause issues?

Nice job Jase, yes you have to watch the ants, if they build a nest on a circuit board it's usually toast soon after !!! 🤠😎

Nice. Is that an SB 6.0? How do they work with the Tesla inverters? Frequency modulation?

Those ants really look energized !

None of you installers bother to use anti-seize on the fastenings.

Hey mate. I’ve watched a few of your videos now-and I love your work. I was wondering if you service Mount Hardey? It’s completely off-grid here. I have (I think) all the components for a 9.5kw system (bought locally), including about 13.5 kw of battery storage, id be very interested in getting you out here to put it together professionally please. 😁

Great video! Unrelated question: are you able to install a generator-input-powerpoint (male, like on the outside of a caravan, say 15A not 32A) _inside_ a house, instead of inside? Reason I ask is incase there's an outage and a portable-power-station (battery & inverter) is available inside the house to deliver 240v AC power (instead of a generator outside.)

interesting that it's a green flame

I was at a mains power board the other day, it also had an infestation but not as bad as this.

Fully agree, I have a Solax inverter and can’t fault it but did have to replace one of the cooling fans after 7years. Thankfully I am also an electrician and therefore was able to repair it myself.

Fantastic information and expert advice, that absolutely no-one will listen to.👍

hi boss, see if there is any chance for cooperation. We are from a Chinese factory

Good news looking forward to the install if they let you and the outcome

Balls of steel and hats off to you 👏 🙌

I've done 10kW inverter power with 30kWh of battery with 10kW of panels for $15k for an off grid property. Growatt inverters, not over stressed by too much solar, 51.2V batteries LiFePo4. I run a 15amp storage hot water and I've ran an electric welder no worries. Where does the insane cost come from?! Literally a 15kW inverter and solar system with 50kWh of batteries you should never need grid power again. It is such a rort what we have been sold in Australia!

ACA had a story from over east where they charge you if you supply power to the grid during off peak times. They don't want to pay feed in tariffs. See below story. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWKkqKJvfLalfpY

DC isolator or is it DC circuit breaker?

One thing you don't do is loop them together you fool no wonder it's arked 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not wired right 😂😂😂😂😂

Why are you filming when you should be concentrating on driving instead?

Super useful as someone about to add a couple of solar panels to tiled roof outbuilding!

In Croatia we have netting system for residential customers. That means when you have excessive energy during summer you can use it during winter. Netting is doing on a year basis. Other solution is to use local battery for peak shaving.

Hi. Do u mean sigenergy battery set up too??

I made myself 15kwh for 3K

Some peeps wont blink an eye at a $80K car or two of them, yet energy independence, well to expensive. I been in off grid for 20 years and you know who is serious about having autonomy eyc, been designing on grid for 8 years now as well .....and low & behold we have a new class of consumers .....its called " garage bling " remember the days of the mane cave....now its cime see my 2 x Tesla cars, my 2 Tesla battery & 20 kW PV array on roof ....for 12 kWh consumption a day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 save the world, buy batteries, go solar.. fill the ocean with wind turbines and the sea bed with cables ...what a world we going to hand over to our kids ...GLMF

So they are dangerous when you “make” the contacts at high voltage. How do they do when “breaking” contacts when they started closed?

And AEMO seem to think that this behind the meter tech is going to support the grid. No chance.

Great work, thanks for sharing 👍✅

👍

We are completely off grid in the winter months we have power cuts but only very late at night we ars a 24v system most of the work I've done myself its not to difficult at 22v the inverter turns off to protect the batteries and we add to the system as required

Never use it without proper dust proof enclosure properly air circulator No,2 is big problem Must be fixed at least 50mm away from the wall Manufacturer is bloody useless not giving proper installation. Better use a fly screen Fully right round it with minimum 50mm right round.with a Aluminum Wooden frame

DC is not forgiving you might get lucky with AC .

If you charging 75k for batteries you ripping people off dude.

I'm from Perth & have free energy machine technology that turns pollution into oxygen via plasmoid reactions & uses plasmoids at temp. It's on my channel the thunderstorm generator

where is the proof? optimizers can not switch shade into sun. they only optimize the befenfit of TIGO and the installer 😅

I am in Perth and have a 5kw grid connected system ($2200) and a 5kw hybrid system with 10kw of battery ($8000). I intend to install a further 10kw of battery ($1600) and a further 3kw of solar panels ($300 second hand) and that will then reduce my dependence on Western power to nil. I will still be connected to the grid as a back-up in place of a generator 😊

Wait what? Can these things be installed exposed to the elements? I thought they had to go in a garage.

You need around 111 amps DC continuous to produce 5kva AC

Pylon tech are terrible batteries. One battery will not produce enough amps to produce 5kva AC. This is a common problem i see. Really common.
